CALL FOR APPLICATIONS — YOUNG RESEARCHER FORUM | SCHOLARSHIPS.
A young researcher forum aimed at research students (e.g., doctoral, advanced masters research) will be an important part of HCC 2016. Full-time students will benefit from reduced registration costs, i.e., scholarships will be available for thematically fitting applicants (e.g., cognitive vision, visual perception, cognitive systems, eye-tracking, human behaviour studies).
